Hi, first: I saw your "answer" to your own question, but I rather answer this :-) (Besides: 2 hours is not quite the amount of time I would expect a competent answer to a very individual problem...)

When xrdb is _not_ installed, what exact program are you killing? So I guess it just must be installed somewhere... Try to find out its PID (via "ps") and check what /proc/<PID>/exe points to (it's a symlink). Then try running the command with the just found out executable from an X terminal (maybe you would have to make a backup copy of the temp file mentioned in the command string you've posted and use that later in the terminal window) and see what happens. You'll probably want to omit the "-quiet" flag... -hwh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
